Story behind the song

Lyrics
well you see there boys and girls
back over there
back down yonder
there used to be a cornfield
(uh)
and some like summer days like this
i always go on down there
to that there cornfield
it's not a cornfield anymore
mm mm
it had to turn into a parking lot
a parking lot for what you ask?
well if you just go down yonder a few more miles
you'll see a walmart
well that y'allm y'allmart y'all y'allmart
wall walmart stands
that walmart stands
down on yonder
why, there used to be a cherry field
and we used to go eat cherries
and eat corn all god damn day
till they put up a fence
that's when they said no
you can't go in there any mo'
i grew up in this city my whole life
and i have seen nothing but
decayed, decrepit old people
fondling the youth of the day
hello, my name is jimmy
i'm from michigan
and i just want to say that this, this is great
a great place to live
and because there's this guy down the street and
he likes to throw rocks at me
and i don't like it
it brings me to closer
to my loved ones
because i fear for my life every day
and that fear drives my love
and i can't be more
more grateful for that
no i can't
because i don't want to die
sometimes i like to
get on my motor scooter
and i like to go up the local store
and i usually have about
5 dollars in loose change
and i like to go up there
some times i take a really long time in line
a really long time
because i dont care, i'm old
i'm retired
i have time to waste.
the old man, he's got time to waste
and you come over here he'll hit you in the face
with his cane
he knows what to do
when he gets to the devil
he's gonna get to you
he's going to
eat your cornfield
and going to destroy your whole f*** ing land
because you fail to understand
the power, the glowing, the width of his hand
leave your boot at the dock
your dog got old
dont do what your told
and always grow old
you'll grow old
in this old harbor town
and when you get there
you're going to go into the ground
there's this kid across the street
and he always likes to throw snowballs at me in the winter time
and now i've had enough
i got a petition
and i'm gonna have everyone sign it.
